Texas A&M running game coordinator Elijah Robinson and OC Bobby Petrino were at the MBA-Ensworth bball game to watch Aggies signee Marcel Reed score a team-high 20 points in a 71-56 Big Red win tonight.
Nashville is losing two sports legends this week with Maurice Fitzgerald retiring as football coach at Hillsboro High and Walter Overton retiring as the Titans general manager of Nissan Stadium. Congratulations to both.

game when Chucky Mullins tackled Brad Gaines, which left Chucky paralyzed and he later died. Brad is at Chucky’s gravesite today in Russellville, Ala. cleaning the headstone. He sent this picture to me.
I have spoken with people associated with Belmont and Lipscomb going all the way back to their NAIA days who firmly believe this year’s teams are the best in each program’s history.
That is why it will be so disappointing if both fail to get in the NCAA tournament.

Rick Byrd and I shared a special moment today.
He started at Belmont the same year I started at The Tennessean.
We agreed, we've seen a great deal of change in Nashville the last 33 years.
This is one change I was not looking forward to, but I am very happy for Rick and Cheryl.
